In other words, <a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/07/30/abc-testing-ugly-betty-glam-new-look/">will <em>Ugly Betty</em> be the same show if Betty becomes a beauty</a>? <a href="http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/07/30/abc-testing-ugly-betty-glam-new-look/"><br /></a><br />Mike Ausiello is reporting that ABC has focus grouped a couple of scenes from the upcoming season in which Betty is remodeled to look more fashionable in the fashion world. As <em>Mode</em>'s new associate features editor, she opts for some fancy new outfits and a less eclectic, eccentric look. She's also had her hair, brows and makeup redone ... no doubt after a trip to Hilda's beauty salon.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/31/if-ugly-betty-gets-a-makeover-will-she-still-be-betty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19115478/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/31/if-ugly-betty-gets-a-makeover-will-she-still-be-betty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ABC</category><category>America Ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>Betty Suarez</category><category>BettySuarez</category><category>braces</category><category>makeover</category><category>makeup</category><category>Ugly Betty</category><category>UglyBetty</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Emmy Wish List: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/15/emmy-wish-list-outstanding-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/15/emmy-wish-list-outstanding-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/15/emmy-wish-list-outstanding-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comedy/" rel="tag">Other Comedy Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/awards/" rel="tag">Awards</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/weeds/" rel="tag">Weeds</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/emmys/" rel="tag">Emmys</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="315" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/07/toni_collette_tara_showtime.jpg" alt="toni collette united states of tara" />Let's be honest. There are really only four or five real contenders for this category, and most of them were nominated last year. But it's not like the talented Tina Fey (<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/30-rock/"><em>30 Rock</em></a>), Mary Louise-Parker (<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/weeds/"><em>Weeds</em></a>), Julia Louise-Dreyfus (<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-new-adventures-of-old-christine/"><em>The New Adventures of Old Christine</em></a>) and America Ferrera (<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/"><em>Ugly Betty</em></a>) don't deserve the recognition. They all fit the bill, and most of their shows were damn good this year. <br /><br />I'd be happy to see any one of them go home with the gold on Emmy night. I'd also love to see some recognition for Christina Applegate's work in <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/samantha-who/"><em>Samantha Who?</em></a>, a great show that got the ax earlier this year.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/15/emmy-wish-list-outstanding-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19098706/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/15/emmy-wish-list-outstanding-lead-actress-in-a-comedy-series/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>30 rock</category><category>30Rock</category><category>america ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>christina applegate</category><category>ChristinaApplegate</category><category>emmys2009</category><category>julia louis-dreyfus</category><category>JuliaLouis-dreyfus</category><category>mary louise parker</category><category>MaryLouiseParker</category><category>samantha who</category><category>SamanthaWho</category><category>showtime</category><category>the new adventures of old christine</category><category>TheNewAdventuresOfOldChristine</category><category>tina fey</category><category>TinaFey</category><category>toni collette</category><category>ToniCollette</category><category>ugly betty</category><category>UglyBetty</category><category>united states of tara</category><category>UnitedStatesOfTara</category><category>weeds</category><dc:creator>Mike Moody</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:31:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Guess why some people are mad at Ugly Betty</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/13/guess-why-some-people-are-mad-at-ugly-betty/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/13/guess-why-some-people-are-mad-at-ugly-betty/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/07/13/guess-why-some-people-are-mad-at-ugly-betty/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comedy/" rel="tag">Other Comedy Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="290" border="0" align="right" alt="Ugly Betty" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/07/uglybetty250.jpg" />a.)

Well, no, but Christopher Gorham came back to possibly screw things up between Betty and Matt.<br /><br />Was this a good season finale? Is the show as good as it used to be?

There are just other things to watch, and that feeling of "oh, <em>Ugly Betty</em> is a great show I wonder what's going to happen tonight!" is just gone. I think it ended around the time that she took that hansom cab ride with that one guy though she still wanted to be with Henry. Or something. Anyway, I'm looking at it and ... Ralph Macchio is in it now?! And David Rasche?!

And to that I say a big ... who cares?<br /><br />Every year, in the weeks leading up to the Emmys, we hear about which stars are going to present awards. I've always found it odd because the people they say are going to present are, you know, <span style="font-style: italic;">TV stars</span>. Seriously, this is the Emmy Awards, and like the Oscars or the Grammys, I expect the people who have something to do with television (maybe the people who actually star on the shows!) to either present awards, introduce segments of the show, or even host. Yeah, it's mildly interesting that <a href="http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/08/64830/index.html">William Petersen and Laurence Fishburne will present an award together</a>, since<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/18/csi-lands-laurence-fishburne/"> Fishburne is taking over for Petersen</a> on <em>CSI</em>, but it's not that big of a deal. And it's certainly not a big deal that <a href="http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_10316758?nclick_check=1">America Fererra and Vanessa Williams</a> are going to present an award or that <a href="http://www.bradenton.com/entertainment/story/827123.html">Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Hugh Laurie</a> are going to present awards - <em>separately</em>. I would assume that these current TV stars will be involved in some way, but even if they aren't, why is it news?<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/28/who-cares-which-celebrities-are-going-to-present-at-the-emmys/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1297808/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/28/who-cares-which-celebrities-are-going-to-present-at-the-emmys/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>america ferrera</category><category>best actor</category><category>best actress</category><category>best comedy</category><category>best drama</category><category>celebrities</category><category>csi</category><category>desperate housewives</category><category>emmy awards</category><category>emmys</category><category>laurence fishburne</category><category>tv stars</category><category>ugly betty</category><category>vanessa williams</category><category>william petersen</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Everyone is sick of hearing about Gossip Girl, even Ugly Betty - VIDEO</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/12/everyone-is-sick-of-hearing-about-gossip-girl-even-ugly-betty/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/12/everyone-is-sick-of-hearing-about-gossip-girl-even-ugly-betty/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/12/everyone-is-sick-of-hearing-about-gossip-girl-even-ugly-betty/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/gossip-girl/" rel="tag">Gossip Girl</a></p><em><img hspace="4" height="313" width="200" vspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/ggnightmare.jpg" alt="Gossip Girl" />Gossip Girl.

It's on the CW and doesn't get great ratings, but everyone is talking about the cast romances and the clothing and the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/04/24/ptc-says-wtf-over-omfg-ads/">ad controversy</a>. It's the "buzz-worthy" show of the moment, and a lot of people are getting sick of it. And that list of people seems to include America Ferrera.<br /><br />I'm not a body language expert (my degree is actually in psychotherapy) but I just <em>know</em> that the clip after the jump shows the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ugly Betty</span></a> star about 33 seconds away from walking off the set as Blake Lively goes on and on about <em>Gossip Girl</em>. Which would be fine if Lively and Ferrera weren't there to promote something else, <em>The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2</em>. E's <span style="font-style: italic;">The Soup</span> caught Ferrera's reaction and showed it to the world.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/12/everyone-is-sick-of-hearing-about-gossip-girl-even-ugly-betty/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1282527/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/08/12/everyone-is-sick-of-hearing-about-gossip-girl-even-ugly-betty/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>america ferrera</category><category>blake lively</category><category>sisterhood of the traveling pants</category><category>the cw</category><category>the soup</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:24:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ugly Betty gets a Queens welcome</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/19/ugly-betty-gets-a-queens-welcome/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/19/ugly-betty-gets-a-queens-welcome/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/19/ugly-betty-gets-a-queens-welcome/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="265" border="0" align="right" alt="America Ferrera" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/bsuarez71808.jpg" />While <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/"><em>Ugly Betty's</em></a> move to New York City might not have been good news for the show's crew, Queens residents couldn't be happier to have the Suarez family in town. Fans welcomed the comedy series with a <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117989147.html?categoryid=14&amp;cs=1&amp;nid=2562">block party-style celebration in Jackson Heights</a>, Betty's home base.<br /><br />Actors America Ferrera and Tony Plana attended the event and thanked fans in both English and Spanish. The <em>Ugly Betty</em> cast and crew have already been seen filming in their new, more authentic surroundings. As Allison mentioned, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/">America Ferrera was recently spotted</a> riding a motorcycle in Brooklyn (dressed as Betty Suarez, of course).<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/19/ugly-betty-gets-a-queens-welcome/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1260690/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/19/ugly-betty-gets-a-queens-welcome/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>america ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>christopher gorham</category><category>ChristopherGorham</category><category>jackson heights</category><category>JacksonHeights</category><category>New York</category><category>NewYork</category><category>queens ugly betty celebration</category><category>QueensUglyBettyCelebration</category><category>tony plana</category><category>TonyPlana</category><category>ugly betty</category><category>UglyBetty</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 19 Jul 2008 09:33:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ugly Betty receives a new Val-entine</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/casting/" rel="tag">Casting</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="284" border="0" align="right" alt="Betty on motorcycle" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/ugly-betty---lp_e_b531446b815d841fa57ff7ac29559923-1.jpg" />First there was Walter, then Henry, then Gio and now Jesse? For a girl whose called ugly, Betty Suarez gets an awful lot of appreciative looks and more from the fellows, does she not? <br /><br />The new man with eyes for Betty is named Jesse and actor/musician <a href="http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-News-Blog/Todays-News/Ugly-Betty-Casting/800043052">Val Emmich has been cast in the <em>Ugly Betty</em> role</a>. The role is recurring -- kind of like Freddy Rodriguez when he started as Gio -- but since he's a potential love interest with UB, he could be bumped up to regular.<br /><br />With the show now filming in New York, perhaps a young hot guy like Val Emmich is just the ticket for Betty. Emmich's done a lot of Manhattan TV shows -- <em>Hope &amp; Faith, 30 Rock, Third Watch</em> -- so he's going to sound like a New Yawker.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1252685/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/11/ugly-betty-receives-a-new-val-entine/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ABC</category><category>America Ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>brooklyn</category><category>manhattan</category><category>Marie Claire</category><category>MarieClaire</category><category>motorcycle</category><category>new york</category><category>NewYork</category><category>Ugly Betty</category><category>UglyBetty</category><category>Val Emmich</category><category>ValEmmich</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:59:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Sarah Silverman: best comedy actress?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/01/sarah-silverman-best-comedy-actress/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/01/sarah-silverman-best-comedy-actress/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/01/sarah-silverman-best-comedy-actress/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comedy/" rel="tag">Other Comedy Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/boston-legal/" rel="tag">Boston Legal</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/desperate-housewives/" rel="tag">Desperate Housewives</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lost/" rel="tag">Lost</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/medium/" rel="tag">Medium</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/big-love/" rel="tag">Big Love</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/30-rock/" rel="tag">30 Rock</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/damages/" rel="tag">Damages</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/weeds/" rel="tag">Weeds</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/emmys/" rel="tag">Emmys</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pushing-daisies/" rel="tag">Pushing Daisies</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/samantha-who/" rel="tag">Samantha Who?</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/mad-men/" rel="tag">Mad Men</a></p><p><img hspace="4" height="287" width="200" vspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/07/sarah-silverman063008.jpg" alt="Sarah Silverman" />As the Academy of Television Arts &amp; Sciences tries to whittle the submissions down to actual nominees, it's interesting to take a look at who has made it to the semifinals. It's not a nomination, but it's one step away. Today comes word of the finalists for <a href="http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2008/06/sarah-silverman.html">best comedy actress</a> and <a href="http://goldderby.latimes.com/awards_goldderby/2008/06/last-years-emmy.html">best supporting drama actor</a>. There are some surprises. </p>
<p>Chief among those for me is Sarah Silverman. I honestly hadn't even considered her in the running. I'm not much of a fan, but I do like that she is being considered for the simple fact that the base the nominees are drawn from can always use some expansion. And if she is the most surprising inclusion, the most surprising snub just might be Teri Hatcher. Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross, and Felicity Huffman all made the cut, but not Hatcher. Ouch. The rest of the finalists, and the supporting actors from a drama, after the jump.</p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/01/sarah-silverman-best-comedy-actress/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1241914/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/01/sarah-silverman-best-comedy-actress/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>america ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>anna friel</category><category>AnnaFriel</category><category>blair underwood</category><category>BlairUnderwood</category><category>bruce dern</category><category>BruceDern</category><category>christian clemenson</category><category>ChristianClemenson</category><category>christina applegate</category><category>ChristinaApplegate</category><category>eva longoria</category><category>EvaLongoria</category><category>felicity huffman</category><category>FelicityHuffman</category><category>jake weber</category><category>JakeWeber</category><category>john slattery</category><category>JohnSlattery</category><category>julia louis dreyfus</category><category>JuliaLouisDreyfus</category><category>marcia cross</category><category>MarciaCross</category><category>mary-louise parker</category><category>Mary-louiseParker</category><category>michael emerson</category><category>MichaelEmerson</category><category>naveen andrews</category><category>NaveenAndrews</category><category>sarah silverman</category><category>SarahSilverman</category><category>t.r. knight</category><category>T.r.Knight</category><category>ted danson</category><category>TedDanson</category><category>teri hatcher</category><category>TeriHatcher</category><category>terry oquinn</category><category>TerryOquinn</category><category>tina fey</category><category>TinaFey</category><category>william shatner</category><category>WilliamShatner</category><category>zeljko ivanek</category><category>ZeljkoIvanek</category><dc:creator>Brett Love</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:23:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>How to turn Ugly Betty around next season</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/29/how-to-turn-ugly-betty-around-next-season/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/29/how-to-turn-ugly-betty-around-next-season/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/29/how-to-turn-ugly-betty-around-next-season/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="330" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/ferreramay2808.jpg" id="img1" alt="America Ferrera" /><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Ugly-Betty/" style="font-style: italic;">Ugly Betty</a> definitely avoided the sophomore slump, but something was missing from the show's post-strike episodes. Elements that made the first season great were left out of the second part of season two. Fortunately, <span style="font-style: italic;">Ugly Betty</span> only needs to make some small changes to return to its former glory. Feel free to add your own suggestions to my list. <br /><br /><strong>Bring Cliff back -</strong> It's nice to see Marc do something besides taunt Betty or do Wili's bidding. Season one's <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/03/23/ugly-betty-dont-ask-dont-tell/">"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"</a> proved that Marc has a heart, and his relationship with Cliff continued to explore that sensitive side. Marc found love by looking beyond surface beauty, which is what the show is all about. The post-strike episodes favored Betty's love triangle at the expense of the other characters' relationships. Why have so many well-written relationships if you're only going to focus on one or two? The fantastic ensemble cast had better get more screen time in season three. <strong><br /></strong><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/29/how-to-turn-ugly-betty-around-next-season/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1203821/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/29/how-to-turn-ugly-betty-around-next-season/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>america ferrera</category><category>AmericaFerrera</category><category>judith light</category><category>JudithLight</category><category>michael urie</category><category>MichaelUrie</category><category>rebecca romijn</category><category>RebeccaRomijn</category><category>ugly betty</category><category>UglyBetty</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 13:24:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ugly Betty:  The Kids Are Alright</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/15/ugly-betty-the-kids-are-alright/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/15/ugly-betty-the-kids-are-alright/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/15/ugly-betty-the-kids-are-alright/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/" rel="tag">Ugly Betty</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="265" border="0" align="top" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/05/112831_099_pre.jpg" alt="Vanessa Williams and Michael Urie" /><br />(S02E17)</em> Wili's moment of triumph arrived, and it was just as glorious as I expected it to be. La Slater is officially back at <span style="font-style: italic;">Mode</span> as Creative Director, and all is right with the <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Ugly-Betty/">Ugly Betty</a> world. This episode was all about couples. Hilda pursued Coach Diaz, Gio pursued Betty, and Marc and Amanda did what they do best--torture Betty.

Wili officially declared war on the Meades, Betty dealt with serious baby drama, and Hilda got back into the dating game (almost). If this keeps up, the show will be back to its old self--Wili scheming, Betty working with Daniel against her, and an end to the Suarez family mourning period.

<p><em>(S02E15)</em> You can add "glamourtunity" and "preg-nasty" to the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Ugly-Betty/"><em>Ugly Betty</em></a> lexicon. While this episode gave us some cute moments and clever dialogue, I felt like it was light on plot. Yes, we got Renee's storyline out of the way, but the rest of it was build-up to the season's bigger issues. I'm ready for things to start happening. </p>

<p><em>(S02E14)</em> That look says it all, doesn't it? Betty spent part of her birthday with fellow dreamer Gio, and came home to Henry with a lot on her mind. The reappearance of Charlie reminded us that Henry's baby is coming soon. There's a difficult decision in Betty's future. Who will she choose, Henry or Gio?</p>

<p><em>(S02E13)</em> It might not have been an official season finale (a faux-nale?), but this week's <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/">Ugly Betty</a></em> could be the last one we see for a very long time. I miss the show already. So many issues are up in the air! What will happen with the Henry-Betty-Gio triangle? Will Wili's baby scheme succeed? Is Ignacio ever going to get another storyline? For now, we'll either have to use our imaginations or content ourselves with the Season One DVD. I've never been big on fanfic, so I'm going with Option B. </p>

<p><em>(S02E12)</em> Courtroom drama! Perfume that makes you crazy! Baby-making schemes! This week's <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/">Ugly Betty</a></em> had all the telenovela angles covered. In the grand tradition of fictional court proceedings, Claire's murder trial was over and done with in a couple of days. Don't you love that about TV? There was even time to spare for Gio, Wili, and Christina. Good thing, too, because there's only one episode left. Better get your fill of Suzuki St. Pierre now, folks. </p>

<p><em>(S02E11) </em>Many weeks ago (man, it's been a while since we've had a new episode) I shared my dream of a <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/12/07/ugly-betty-bananas-for-betty/">Dixie Carter-Vanessa Williams showdown</a>. This week, Amanda visited a psychic played by another <em>Designing Women</em> cast member, the wonderful Annie Potts. So close! It's great to have <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/ugly-betty/">Ugly Betty</a></em> back, at least for now. The sad truth--that there are only two episodes left--is beginning to sink in. Who's panicking?</p>
